Custom kits featuring Christmas Figs by Fig Tree & Company

It’s the middle of summer
in my neck of the woods, which of course means days filled with sunshine, warm
temperatures and outdoor activities. It
also means that it’s time for many quilters to begin working on . . . Christmas
quilts!

I know, I know . . . you
may not be ready to think about winter and the holiday season, but the truth
is, now is the time to get started! I thought I’d help you out by kitting two
of my festive patterns, Welcome Home Wreath and Starry Way, using the brand new
Christmas Figs collection by Fig Tree & Company for Moda! I’ve made up a new sample
of Welcome Home Wreath, and I love how she turned out!

Welcome
Home Wreath is a 48 1/2" x 48 1/2" wall hanging or table topper that
will add a warm holiday spirit to your home. The pattern calls for one mini
charm pack and coordinating yardage, for a scrappy, homespun feel. You may notice in my sample that I also used a bit of the red text print from Fig Tree's Ella & Ollie collection.

My Welcome Home Wreath
sample was custom quilted by Starlit Bear of Starlit Quilts. As I’m writing this blog post, I realize that
I don’t have the words to adequately describe how awesome her quilting
is. Marvelous, beautiful, inspiring,
amazing . . . seriously, Star’s talent is the kind that just makes me shake my
head in wonder. Thank you, Star, for transforming my sweet top into a much
treasured quilt.

If you’d like to make a Welcome
Home Wreath for your home, my kits include the pattern plus Christmas Figs fabric for the top, back and binding. I even tucked in a strip of the Ella
& Ollie red text print if you’d like to pull that into your design like I
did. The kits are available on my Etsy Shopwith two different backing fabric options (as shown below).

I’ve also kitted my Starry Way table runner
pattern with the Christmas Figs collection. I don’t have a new sample to
show you, but I think it’s easy to see how lovely Starry Way would look using
Christmas Figs. The table runner kit is available on my Etsy Shop. The
kit includes the pattern plus Christmas Figs fabric for the top, back and
binding.

Here is the original Starry Way, which featured a Basic
Grey line called Juniper Berry. This charm pack friendly table runner finishes at 40” x 20”,
a terrific size for your table or buffet. This pattern would be delightful sewn
up in Christmas Figs!

Please note that I am not
a fabric store, and I only purchase a small supply of fabric annually for use
in my pattern design. So these kits are limited in number and once they are
gone, they are gone. The Ella & Ollie kits I created this spring sold out quickly, but please remember
that my blog sponsors (whose logos run along the left-hand side of my website)
typically carry the same collections that I describe in my blog posts. They are
all wonderful folks who would love to help you custom curate a kit with their
fabric supplies.

Both the Welcome Home Wreath and Starry Way kits are now available on my Etsy Shop. You will find complete
details and pricing there.

I gave a HEART to your post before I opened it to read...and i recognized the style of it as being yours before i even scrolled down to see your "Carried Away Quilting" name ! It's 108 here in Texas and hard to feel Christmas spirit! But your beautiful quilt about puts me there! THANKS for sharing-fabric, quilting, pattern, all beautiful! :)

The art in which the Welcome Home quilt is designed and the art in which it is quilted is just super gorgeous! I want to make both of these patterns, as they are so lovely. Thank you for these beautiful designs, Taunja!!

Thank you so much Sigi! You are always so supportive of other quilters, including me. Have enjoyed seeing all of your makes on IG. I don't know anyone that gets more sewing done that Little Quiltsong! Have a great day!!
